The Outsider (2014)

It is so not Taken, but this is a decent caper kind of action movie.

[7/10 · 12 March 2014]

I like Craig Fairbrass as a lead, he comes across a lot like the ham fisted Liam Neeson in a performance that is very similar to Taken, in the part plaid by Firbanks only, the story does not develop in any way like Taken there is just a similarity in the characters. Beyond that noise there is a decent movie here with action, and some good suspense. Not much beyond a TV movie, though of a decent quality. The story is well written, it takes from a few other stories of this genre, and weaves it's own results. I Enjoyed the character development, and the action was good, always fast, and back to the story with a good flow. I would recommend this one to action movie fans, on the whole it is really not exceptional, but it will fill some time, and you won't feel ripped off at the end. Some language, and a bit of blood, but very tame really for what it could be, and even compared to the way Seagal used to break things back in the 90's.
